Simultaneous Transmigration: From Douluo Continent to the Pinnacle

Before dawn, Lin Yao was already sitting atop the snow-capped peak.

Using his fingers as a pen, he created a simple concealment barrier around himself, hiding the energy fluctuations that were about to occur.

After doing all this, he took out several jade bottles from his storage ring.

The jade bottle contained three extremely rare spiritual items: the Spiritual Heart Essence, the Jade Spirit Elixir, and the Heavenly Heart Jadeite Essence.

Each of these three spiritual items is a treasure that would make even a Dou Zun powerhouse envious.

He obtained it by chance at a secret auction at the border of Black Corner Region and Central State. If it weren't for the assistance of the power of stars and the extremely strict ratio and method of consumption, he would have consumed it long ago.

Now is the best time.

Following the method recorded in the "Divine Radiance Manual," Lin Yao mixed the three spiritual substances together in a specific ratio and repeatedly refined them with his soul power until the three were completely fused together, transforming into a golden liquid that exuded a rich fragrance.

He tilted his head back and drank it down in one gulp. Instantly, he felt a warm yet powerful spiritual energy surge up his throat into his mind, reaching the depths of his soul. That energy, like boiling water, fully activated his soul power.

Lin Yao closed his eyes, formed a hand seal, and silently recited a profound incantation.

In an instant, the distant stars in the originally dark sky above the snow-capped peak seemed to be drawn by some invisible force, and like several beams of starlight visible to the naked eye, they poured down and landed straight on Lin Yao's head.

The moment the starlight entered his body, every pore on his body opened up, frantically devouring the pure stellar power descending from the sky. Deep within his soul, the spiritual energy that had been condensed and compressed for so long was stirred by the stellar power, first surging violently, then converging and collapsing in the same direction, as if it were gestating something.

Eleven days.

For eleven whole days, Lin Yao sat motionless atop the snow-capped peak, like a statue.

On the morning of the twelfth day, as the first rays of sunlight pierced through the clouds and fell upon the snow-capped peak, Lin Yao slowly opened his eyes, which had been closed for eleven days.

As soon as he opened his eyes, his spiritual power erupted almost without warning, forming a terrifying invisible shockwave that instantly crushed the snow layer within a radius of hundreds of feet into dust!

The spiritual fluctuations were extremely terrifying, like an invisible ocean spreading outwards from the mountaintop. Although weakened by the barrier, it still terrified several flying magical beasts hundreds of miles away, causing them to flee in panic.

"Finally... Mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm."

Lin Yao let out a long breath, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

His spiritual power had been repeatedly tempered by the power of the stars, making it profound and far surpassing others of the same realm. Now that he has broken through to the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm, the solidity of his spiritual power and the strength of his soul are comparable to the old monsters of the late-stage Heavenly Realm, and he has even faintly touched the legendary half-step Emperor Realm level.

"At this rate, the day I step into the Emperor Realm Soul stage isn't far off." Lin Yao clenched his fist slightly, feeling the vast power deep within his soul, and a smile appeared on his lips.

But he didn't linger. Now that his soul had broken through, the next step was to take advantage of this breakthrough to further advance his battle qi cultivation.

He sat down cross-legged again, formed hand seals, and guided the energy between heaven and earth to converge towards the snow-capped peak.

Without the bottleneck of mental strength, his battle qi cultivation also lost its final restraint, like a dam that had been accumulating for too long suddenly bursting open. Above the entire snow-capped peak, the energy of heaven and earth surged wildly, forming a huge vortex that was visible to the naked eye and covered the entire mountain!

The vortex was dark gold in color and had a terrifying presence, like the end of the world, drawing away all the energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles.

Looking into the distance, the shape of the mountain peaks could no longer be seen; only a huge energy vortex could be seen slowly rotating between heaven and earth, distorting even space itself.

Fortunately, this place is far from human habitation; otherwise, such a terrifying energy phenomenon would have attracted the attention of countless powerful individuals.

The dark golden energy vortex lingered above the snow-capped peak for three days and three nights.

At midnight on the third day, the whirlpool suddenly contracted, like a whale sucking in water, and disappeared completely into the mountain peak.

On the top of the snow-capped peak, where the energy storm had stripped the land bare of vegetation, Lin Yao slowly stood up, looked up at the sky, and gazed through the clouds, landing among the vast stars.

His aura had surged again by a significant margin.

He reached the mid-stage of the Soul Heaven Realm, and his Dou Qi cultivation advanced further thanks to this opportunity. He has now completely stepped into the level above the mid-stage of Dou Zun, and his strength has undergone another transformation.

……

During the time Lin Yao left Canaan Academy to go into seclusion at Snow Peak, the inner courtyard did not become peaceful.

Panmen has risen to prominence recently, constantly reshuffling the rankings on the Power Rankings. Although young, Xiao Yan possesses a unique fire and has mastered all of Yao Lao's knowledge, making him virtually invincible at the Dou Ling level. Just a few days ago, he even challenged Yan Hao, who was ranked fourth on the Power Rankings.

Yan Hao follows a domineering and forceful path, wielding earth-attribute Dou Qi as powerful as a mountain. He has been renowned in the inner academy for many years and is one of the core figures among the Panmen's higher-ups. When news of Xiao Yan's challenge to him spread, many felt that this newcomer was far too arrogant and ignorant.

However, that battle took everyone by surprise.

Xiao Yan didn't engage Yan Hao in a direct confrontation. Like an eel, he dodged and weaved under Yan Hao's relentless attacks, avoiding a full-scale battle. Every dodge was perfectly timed, and every counterattack was incredibly cunning. What was even more astonishing was that his attacks seemed light and lacking in power, yet each strike that landed on Yan Hao caused the latter's expression to change slightly and his movements to falter for a moment.

Father, like son.

The old man hovered above a tower in the inner courtyard, his transparent soul body glowing faintly in the moonlight. He stroked his beard, a hint of approval in his eyes: "Internal strength... this kid's combat talent has indeed not disappointed me."

What Xiao Yan used was a technique that Yao Lao had created in recent years, combining all his knowledge with his own. Each seemingly light palm strike actually penetrated the opponent's body, accumulating and layering within the meridians. Once it reached a certain level, it would explode instantly, causing actual damage far exceeding the surface attack.

Yan Hao felt increasingly frustrated as he fought. He felt like he was fighting a ball of cotton, unable to exert any strength. Suddenly, the pent-up internal energy within him erupted like a volcano. He groaned, his face turned deathly pale, and his knees buckled, causing him to kneel on the ground in front of everyone.

"You flatter me." Xiao Yan withdrew his attack and stepped back, his expression unchanged, and slightly clasped his hands in a fist salute.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

Yan Hao, who ranked fourth on the leaderboard, was defeated just like that? Defeated by a young man who had only been hospitalized for a few months?

The disciples of Panmen were initially stunned, then erupted in deafening cheers. Xiao Yan's name spread throughout the inner courtyard that night. Behind the crowd, Liu Qing and Lin Xiuya stood with their arms crossed, their gazes fixed on Xiao Yan, their expressions different. Liu Qing's thick brows were furrowed, he remained silent, but the fighting spirit in his eyes was barely contained; Lin Xiuya, on the other hand, lightly stroked his chin, a cryptic smile playing on his lips: "Interesting."

At the same time, an invisible mental fluctuation suddenly swept in from the northeast!

The mental fluctuation came without warning, like a hurricane sweeping across a calm lake, instantly engulfing the entire Canaan Academy. The cheering Panmen disciples suddenly felt a buzzing in their heads, as if something was crushing through their souls, their legs went weak, and even breathing became extremely difficult. Even the elders at the Dou Zong level, such as Su Qian and the two elders Qian Bai, felt a heavy sense of oppression enveloping their hearts.

The feeling came and went quickly, disappearing without a trace in just a few breaths. But the entire Canaan Academy was in an uproar.

After the mental fluctuations dissipated, a dignified voice softly echoed in the night sky: "You've broken through."

Everyone looked up and saw Lin Yao's figure appear in the sky above the inner courtyard under the moonlight. He had changed into a clean white robe, his long hair was casually tied back, and his aura was restrained and peaceful, making him look no different from an ordinary person. However, every expert above the Dou Zong level present could feel an unfathomable sense of pressure emanating from this young man, like an abyss.

Zi Yan suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looking up at Lin Yao with a surprised expression: "Brother Yao, your aura is so strong! I could hardly breathe just now!"

Little Fairy Doctor also stepped out from the crowd, her pale purple eyes filled with shock: "Brother Yao, your spiritual power... what happened with that soul impact just now?"

Lin Yao landed from the air, and facing everyone's gaze, he smiled faintly: "After half a month of seclusion, I was fortunate enough to take a step forward in the Soul Realm. Just now, when I finished my cultivation, my spiritual power leaked out uncontrollably for a moment, which startled everyone."

He spoke casually, but everyone present looked at each other, their eyes filled with shock.

Meanwhile, in a secluded courtyard within the inner courtyard, Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on his bed, his face pale and his forehead still damp with cold sweat. When that mental fluctuation struck, he was meditating and regulating his breathing. At that moment, he felt as if his soul was being held in someone's hand; with just a slight exertion, he would be utterly destroyed.

"Teacher... what is that?" Xiao Yan asked, still shaken.

Yao Lao's soul emerged from Xiao Yan's body, gazing solemnly into the distance: "Soul pressure. The one who emitted that spiritual fluctuation... is a Heavenly Realm soul."

"Heavenly Realm?" Xiao Yan frowned.

The old apothecary was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The soul realm is divided into four levels: the mortal realm, the spiritual realm, the heavenly realm, and the emperor realm. The mortal realm is the limit for most people, who can only circulate in the mortal realm for their entire lives. The spiritual realm is my current realm—the soul power can leave the body, and refining medicine, perception, and detection are all based on this. In my prime, my soul power was only at the peak of the spiritual realm, with one foot in the threshold of the heavenly realm, but I could never break through that barrier."

"And the Heavenly Realm..." Yao Lao's tone grew even heavier, "That is a qualitative change in soul power. Once a Heavenly Realm soul unfolds, within a radius of a hundred miles, not a single blade of grass or tree can escape its soul perception. What's even more terrifying is that a Heavenly Realm soul can directly attack the souls of others with its soul power, intangible and formless, making it impossible to defend against. In the entire Central Continent, those who possess a Heavenly Realm soul are extremely rare, and each one is a giant in their own right."

The old physician paused, then continued, "And that soul pressure just now... if I'm not mistaken, it wasn't just at the early stage of the Heavenly Realm. The purity and solidity of that pressure probably reached the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm!"

Xiao Yan's pupils suddenly contracted: "Mid-stage Heaven Realm?! You mean... Brother Yao?"

The old apothecary gave a wry smile: "Who else could it be but that kid?"

Xiao Yan remained silent for a while, processing this information. After a long pause, he hesitantly asked, "Teacher, a mid-stage Heavenly Realm soul... how is it comparable to what realm of Dou Qi cultivation?"

"There's no comparison." Yao Lao shook his head. "Soul cultivation and battle qi cultivation are two parallel paths, but soul power is more difficult to cultivate. Generally speaking, the soul power of a Dou Zun expert is around the Spirit Realm, while the soul power of a Dou Sheng expert can only enter the Heaven Realm. In other words, although Lin Yao is nominally a Dou Zong, his soul realm has already reached the level of a Dou Sheng."

Xiao Yan fell silent again. He recalled the scene a month ago when Lin Yao suppressed the ancient demon with a flick of his finger. At the time, he thought it was because Lin Yao's Dou Qi cultivation was far superior to the ancient demon's, allowing him to be so composed. Only now did he realize—Lin Yao hadn't revealed his full strength at all. Even the lightning that he casually flicked with his finger was just the tip of the iceberg.

"A soul power at the mid-stage of the Heavenly Realm... comparable to a Dou Sheng..." Xiao Yan murmured, "He's not much older than me."

Seeing his dazed expression, the old doctor sighed softly, "Little Yanzi, I know you have ambition and want to surpass him. But let me tell you the truth today, even in my prime, I wouldn't dare say my mental strength could surpass his. If you take him as your goal, you're just setting yourself up with an insurmountable mountain."

Xiao Yan raised his head, remained silent for a moment, then suddenly grinned. There was no dejection or discouragement in that smile; instead, it carried a fiery stubbornness and fervor: "Teacher, you're right, Brother Yao is a mountain. But haven't I, Xiao Yan, climbed many mountains? From Wutan City to Canaan Academy, which mountain wasn't initially insurmountable? I just climbed them."

He clenched his fist: "Xun'er is waiting for me in the ancient clan. I can't let her down. What Brother Yao can do, I may not be able to do, but I can do what I can do, and then catch up with him step by step. I'm not afraid of the long journey, I'm just afraid that I won't dare to walk."

The old doctor was stunned.

He quietly looked at the young man on the bed and suddenly felt that this disciple, who was as angular as ever, had not been defeated after being humiliated by the ancient demon and witnessing Lin Yao's true strength. Instead, he had become even more indestructible.

That young heart, like a piece of fine black iron, did not melt under the high temperature of the outside world; instead, it became even sharper.

The old man stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "Good, good, good! As expected of my disciple, Yao Chen! Well said! Since you haven't been scared out of your wits, then I'll sacrifice this old body and go crazy with you!"
